PG&E is turning off the power!...to prevent yet more fires from fallen power
lines.

The lawsuits from this power stoppage will just be added to the ones already
filed against the utility from the last power outage/fires from two years
ago...my sister almost lost her house to that one! She'd already lost her house
in yet an earlier fire...the Middletown fire.

"A severe wind event beginning Saturday night will lead Pacific Gas and Electric
to turn off power to nearly 400,000 Bay Area customers in eight counties to
reduce the risk of wind-damaged equipment sparking wildfires. It was originally
estimated that 850,000 customers would be impacted in the greater Northern
California area, but that estimate rose to 940,000 Saturday morning.

"PG&E said Saturday that power outages would occur in in Alameda, Contra Costa,
Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara Solano and Sonoma counties beginning at
around 4 p.m.
